Phoenix Contact 1642360 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1642360 is a Heavy Duty Connector Hood designed for top entry applications with M25 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1642360 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood connector with top entry configuration
• Size Designation: B10 size class
• Thread Interface: M25 thread size
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Lock Mechanism: Locking clip (2) on base bottom
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum die cast

The substitute part 1412596 maintains all these core parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and extended operating temperature capability (-40°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 100°C). Both parts share identical mechanical interfaces and mounting configurations, enabling direct substitution in applications where the enhanced environmental protection and temperature range of the substitute are acceptable or beneficial.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412596 serves as the active production equivalent to the obsolete 1642360. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical interfaces within the HEAVYCON® B series, ensuring direct compatibility in existing applications.

The 1412596 provides enhanced specifications across two dimensions: ingress protection is upgraded from IP65 to IP66/IP67/IP69K, and maximum operating temperature extends from 100°C to 125°C. These improvements do not compromise backward compatibility and represent a specification enhancement suitable for applications requiring higher environmental protection or thermal performance.

Both parts carry equivalent export classifications (EAR99) and maintain RoHS compliance. The 1412596 achieves ROHS3 compliance status and carries REACH Unaffected designation, reflecting current regulatory alignment. Current inventory availability favors the 1412596 (1159 pcs) over the obsolete 1642360 (1011 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1412596 directly replace the 1642360 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces, thread sizes (M25), locking mechanisms, and housing materials. The 1412596 is mechanically and functionally compatible as a direct substitute.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between these parts?

A: The 1642360 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 1412596 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, and waterproof). The enhanced rating in the substitute part does not create incompatibility; it represents improved environmental sealing performance.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when substituting the 1412596 for the 1642360?

A: No. The 1412596 operates across -40°C to 125°C, which encompasses the original part's -40°C to 100°C range. Applications operating within the original temperature specification will function identically with the substitute.

Q: Do these connectors have different packaging requirements?

A: The 1642360 is supplied in standard packaging. The 1412596 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1642360 is RoHS Compliant. The 1412596 is ROHS3 Compliant, reflecting current regulatory standards. Both meet RoHS requirements for new designs and applications.

Q: What is the salt water resistance feature on the 1412596?

A: The 1412596 includes salt water resistant features, providing enhanced corrosion protection in marine or coastal environments. This feature is not present in the 1642360 but does not affect substitution in standard industrial applications.
